Honey Apple Turnovers
These are easier than apple pie! You can make fun decorations with the extra scraps of dough.
1 Tablespoon dried currants
3 Tablespoons finely chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus additional for dusting
6 Tablespoons honey, divided
2 large baking apples
2 prepared pie dough for single-crust, purchase or homemade
In a small bowl, combine currants, walnuts and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir in 3 Tablespoons honey.
Peel apples and cut each in half lengthwise. Trim away stem and blossom ends. Scoop out core from each half with a melon baller, making a wide hole for filling. Divide honey mixture evenly between apple centers.
Divide pie dough into 4 balls. Roll each ball into a 6-inch circle about 1/4-inch thick. Lay 1 piece of dough over each apple half with filling-side up. Tuck and wrap dough around each apple half. Trim dough to fit. Pinch the edges of dough underneath apples to seal entirely.
Combine 1 Tablespoon honey with 1 teaspoon steaming hot water. Stir until honey dissolves. Brush mixture over tops of turnovers; dust with additional cinnamon. Transfer turnovers to an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees F for about 35 minutes, until turnovers art golden. Remove from oven and drizzle with remaining 2 Tablespoons honey.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
